Like Matt said, if you're choosing between your own pride and making a metric f*ckton of money, you'll probably sell out.
Makes me think of that guy from Youtube who sang Chocolate Rain. He was given a record deal, and published Cherry Chocolate Rain, and suddenly everyone said he was a sellout. God forbid somebody does something to make money after catching a big break.
Put yourself in Clancy's shoes. "Hmm, I'm making a lot of money to publish subpar military thrillers (and making movie deals off of some of them), but I'm getting older and running out of ideas... how awesome would it be if I could make even MORE money by slapping my name on video game and 3rd rate authors' novels?..."
